PreSonus Central Station Studio Monitoring Control Center with Digital Inputs

The Central Station is one of the most popular products for professional studios because it provides the perfect combination of stereo inputs, outputs, and recording-communication functions, allowing you to easily manage multiple sources and monitor speakers. With Central Station, you can easily switch between three sets of stereo, analog input sources with individual level controls. Two stereo S/PDIF digital sources connect via one coax and one Toslink optical port.

You can audition these sources with up to three pairs of speakers with individual trim pots for each speaker - recessed to avoid accidents. You also get a pair of line-level main outputs, a pair of line-level cue outputs to feed a headphone-distributions system and two screaming-loud headphone amplifiers with individual level controls. A Mono switch sums the stereo source so you can check for phase problems, and a Dim switch lets you reduce the speaker output by 20 dB. Of course, you can mute the speakers as well.
